The coming-of-age ceremony is scheduled for Saturday morning, April 30th.

Students in the third year of high school are busy with their studies, so of course they don't have to bother with preparing for anything. All they had to do was prepare a formal outfit – a suit for the boys and a simple dress for the girls.

But the enthusiasm of the girls was obviously unbearable, and they had already begun to choose dresses......

And the boys don't care, how to play crazy and how to study is going on normally.

Until, on the weekend of the week before the coming-of-age ceremony—

Ling Yancai finally took the initiative to mention to Yang Jingshu that she was going to buy a suit.

Yang Jingshu was extremely happy and led Ling Yan to visit many stores.

She vetoed Ling Yan's idea of wanting to pick a set online, and took Ling Yan to try it one by one.

That was the first suit she chose for her child as a mother, which is the meaning of the coming-of-age ceremony. It allows parents to participate in the growth of their children and witness them running in the blazing youth.

In the end, the clothes were chosen, and it was a black double-breasted suit.

"It's handsome." Chu Ran commented like this.

……

……

On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the school gates were wide open. Parents flocked to the school and soon gathered on the playground.

In the middle of the playground there were chairs that had been neatly arranged by the students the night before, and some of the lower classes had even been requisitioned.

However, the only thing that was not fortunate was that at 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, the sky was drizzling and foggy like silver.

But the coming-of-age ceremony was held as usual, and the rain hanging in the air could only add a more memorable touch to this coming-of-age ceremony.

……

led the parents across the adult door and walked on the straight red carpet;

Parents and children sit down, exchange letters, and reveal their true feelings;

Listen to the speech of the inspirational master, and by the way, inspire the college entrance examination candidates who are less than 50 days away from the college entrance examination;

The school arrangements were interlocking until half past eleven, and it was over.

People from all over the family walked out of the school gate holding hands. Because the junior high school students were specially approved on the same day, they could go home for the holidays after the activities in the morning.

Shan Xiaoying's coming-of-age ceremony was not attended by parents, although it was expected by her, but when she walked out of the school gate with a little loss and saw the eye-catching bald head waiting for her, the light in her eyes could not be hidden at that moment.

"I skipped class, I'm here to pick you up!"

Wang Pulong stood there, waiting for his young lady.

……

This is the end of the half-day with special significance.

Now that the coming-of-age ceremony is over, will it be any different?

Ling Yan wanted to have a good chat with Chu Ran that day, but she was busy until midnight before going home.

Ling Yan didn't sleep, she stayed awake and sat in her bedroom waiting for her. Because he sent a message to ask Chu Ran, she said that she would come back later.

"Unlocked—" The mechanical sound sounded, signaling that someone had returned.

Ling Yan heard the noise, opened the bedroom door, and the first thing he said was very 'rushing': "Are you busy until now?" Schools should have closed early, right? ”

Chu Ran, who was standing at the door, obviously didn't expect Ling Yan to be asleep yet, nor did he expect his words to be so angry.

After being stunned for a second, Chu Ran indifferently turned around and closed the door, and then began to change his shoes.

He didn't care about Ling Yan at all.

However, Ling Yan seemed to be a little 'pressing step by step': "What are you doing?" Really busy until now?! ”

He approached Chu Ran. At this time, Chu Ran had just changed his shoes.

Chu Ran took out his phone and looked at the time - it was already early in the morning.

She put her hand on Ling Yan's shoulder, pushed him around with some strength, and then coaxed him softly as she pushed him towards his own room:

"Can you go to bed first, I did come back a little late today, and I was busy leaving school at 11 o'clock, and I was accompanied by them to eat something, and then I took a taxi back."

"You go to sleep, I'll make up for you tomorrow morning, and tomorrow I'll make a set of the previous year's papers in the next city......" Chu Ran was about to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by Ling Yan.

"Who went with you? Who are they? Ling Yan asked stubbornly.

As if you won't be obedient if you don't answer.

"People from the animation club." Chu Ran sighed and continued: "The club was recently commissioned by the school's student union to make a promotional video. Even though I sent an instructor, I was still very busy. ”

Then Chu Ran pulled Ling Yan's collar, he was only wearing a thin pajamas. As if he was wearing too little clothes and was afraid of catching a cold, Chu Ran immediately pushed him into his bedroom.

"Go to sleep, and ask again tomorrow." Then he closed the door.

But after pushing Ling Yan into the bedroom, Chu Ran didn't go to wash, but picked up the laptop in the study and entered his bedroom.

……

The warm yellow light through the crack in the door and the click of a mouse all indicate the college student's busyness.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chu Ran lowered his neck and stretched his waist by the way, and the action of keeping his head down did make his neck and back a little sore.

She questioned the other party again to make sure there was nothing wrong with what had been passed through. Then after getting an "OK" and "hard work" from the other party, I closed the computer with satisfaction.

At this point, the small phase of work is finally over.

"At least this week's tasks are completed, and I don't have to work overtime tomorrow night." Chu Ran nodded, thinking so.

She stood up, intending to wash up and get ready for bed. But the moment the door opened, it seemed that something was heard.

Walking out of the room, looking at the pitch black, Chu Ran shook his head. Or the bird outside the window, startling the person who stayed up late.

……

On the second day, make-up classes were held as normal.

The dark circles under Chu Ran's eyes couldn't be covered, which was formed after staying up for several days and nights in a row.

But Ling Yan didn't say a word, this was really strange compared to him who had to ask about everything that happened before.

……

……

In Jingyi Middle School, in the last month of the senior high school students, the teacher has stopped lecturing.

But every teacher did not give up cheering for the students, and the chicken soup for the soul was poured at least three times a week.

Exams have also become the norm......

As for Rujiang University, students attend classes normally, but the student union and the 3D animation club are very busy during this time.

In order to produce the promotional video, all departments of the student union worked in succession.

As for why the '3D Animation Club' is also busy, of course, it is the only member of all clubs and organizations who usually have relevant knowledge.

Of course, hard work will not be in vain, and you will be rewarded with grade points later.

……

But if he was only a college student in the 3D animation club, Chu Ran still had to tutor Ling Yan's exercises for a while every night.

"Chu Ran, come over for a moment." Ling Yan sat at the desk in his bedroom, and there was an exercise book spread out on the table. After he heard the sound of unlocking, he shouted to Chu Ran, who had just entered the door.

Sure enough, after Chu Ran put down his bag and changed his shoes, he immediately walked in the direction of the shout.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the workbook on Ling Yan's desk, so she bent down and asked which question she had questions.

But Ling Yan didn't answer, and even snatched the red pen she had just held in her hand.

Ling Yan led Chu Ran to his bedside and lifted the quilt for Chu Ran to sit down.

He squatted down so that his eyes could look directly at Chu Ran. I just wanted to say something, but I closed it again, as if adjusting my tone.

Two seconds later, he spoke again, this time surprisingly gently—

"You tell me, you've slept a few hours a week and a few hours a day, huh?"

Chu Ran's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Ling Yan to ask such a question.

So, Ling Yan repeated the question in a low voice: "I mean, how many hours do you sleep every day?" ”

This time, Chu Ran didn't stare at the big eyes anymore, but blinked weakly, and at the same time wanted to move his gaze down and avoid Ling Yan's gaze.

But Ling Yan was not satisfied with this, he leaned forward and leaned his head against Chu Ran's forehead.

Just a second before they were about to get together, Chu Ran replied: "Four hours." ”

"It should be four hours......" Chu Ran's tone was uncertain.

Then, Ling Yan had an expression of 'hatred of iron but not steel' on his face.

I saw that Ling Yan took out the mobile phone in his pocket, unlocked it, swiped right, clicked and clicked again, and then showed it to Chu Ran.

The date shown inside is yesterday, and a piece of data is revealed in front of Chu Ran:

Sleep duration: 3h 12m, deep sleep: 0h 20m, sleep onset: 02:48, wake: 6:00

"Teacher Chu, you haven't even slept enough for four hours."

"You...... When did you put me in my room? Chu Ran was obviously a little angry and wanted to reach out and snatch the phone.

"Before you came back last night." Ling Yan held the hand of the mobile phone and dodged it for a moment, and quickly put the mobile phone back in his pocket.

"Alright, don't be upset." Ling Yan stood up and put his hand on Chu Ran's shoulder, "Sleep now." I don't need you to tutor me tonight, and I won't need to do it again. ”

"Now you just lie down and sleep, don't think about anything, tomorrow Saturday, you don't get up early." While saying this, Ling Yan helped Chu Ran to lie down, and intimately helped her take off the slippers on her feet.

It's very embarrassing now. I didn't even realize that I was lying in a bed that didn't belong to me.

Ling Yan thought that she had closed her eyes and couldn't see his eyes full of love, so she looked at her very boldly. But only Chu Ran knew that her ears were red and hot.

Chu Ran, who was coaxed by Ling Yan's soft voice for a while, was really a little sleepy.

In May, the air was just warm, just like the people around him, warm and considerate.

……

Gradually, Chu Ran fell into a rare good sleep.
